Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Mushinja sha lilongu na muhanu wa ukolamlima wa Kaisari Tiberiwu, Pontiwu Pilatu kaweriti mkolamlima gwa Yudeya, Herodi kaweriti mkolamlima gwa mkowa gwa Galilaya na Filipi mlongu gwakuwi kaweriti mkolamlima gwa mikowa ya Itureya na Trakuniti. Lusaniya kaweriti mkolamlima gwa Abileni,
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
na Anasi na Kayafa waweriti watambika wakulu, shipindi ashi shisoweru sha Mlungu shimwizira Yohani mwana gwa Zakariya kushiwala kulii.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Su Yohana kagenda pahala poseri papaweriti na lushemba Yoridani kaweriti kankubwera pakalonga, “Mleki vidoda vyamtenditi na mkabatizwi, su Mlungu hakawalekiziyi vidoda vyamtenditi.”
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
Ayi ndo yawalembiti mushintola sha mbuyi gwa Mlungu Isaya, “Liziwu lya muntu lipikanika kushiwala, ‘Mumtenderi kala Mtuwa njira yakuwi, mumnyawili weri njira zyakuwi!’”
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
“‘Kila shibokela hawashifintili, Kila lugongu na shigongu hashipalaswi, Paweriti padusunka hapanyoshwi, Zinjira za vuluvulu hazinyawi.
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
Wantu woseri hawawuwoni ulopoziwu wa Mlungu!’”
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Lipinga lya wantu liziti kwa Yohani su wabatizwi. Yomberi kawagambira, “Mwenga mwashiyiwuku sha wanjoka, kakugambirani gaa mtugi maya ga Mlungu gagiza?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Mulanguziyi nakaka ntambu yamutenda handa mleka vidoda vyamtenditi. Namwanja kulonga, ‘Twenga Aburahamu ndo mbuyi gwetu!’ Nukugambirani nakaka, Mlungu tembera katendi ata mabuwi aga gaweri wana wa Aburahamu!
9 And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
Su vinu liwagu litulwa kala kudumula mishigira ya mitera, na kila mtera gwagulera ndiri mabwajubwaju gaherepa, hagudumulwi na kugwasila mumotu.”
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Wantu wamkosiyiti Yohana Mbatiza, “Su twenga tutendi hashi?”
11 He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
Yomberi kawankula, “Yakana nguwu mbili kamupi kahera nguwu na yakana shiboga na yomberi katendi ntambu iraayi.”
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Watola kodi wiziti wabatizwi, wamkosiya, “Mfunda na twenga tutendi hashi?”
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
Kawagambira, “Namtola kodi nentu ya shiyasi shawatuliti.”
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one falsely, and be content with your wages.
Na wamanjagila wamkosiya, “Na twenga tutendi ashi?” Su yomberi kawankula, “Mwenga mleki kuwapoka wantu vintu vyawu, ama kuwasitaka wantu pamuwapayira hera. Mjimili shibena mgongu shampata.”
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
Wantu woseri waweriti wankulolera kwiza kwa Mlopoziya, waweriti wankulikosiya mumyoyu mwawu Yohani, ndo Kristu?
16 John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
Paliya Yohani kuwagambira woseri, “Neni nankubatiza kwa mashi, kumbiti kwana muntu kiza kana uwezu kuliku neni. Neni weza ndiri kuyopola lugoyi lwa kutawira shiyatu shakuwi. Mweni ayu hakakubatizani kwa Rohu Mnanagala na kwa motu.
17 His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Yomberi mumawoku mwakuwi kana luselu lwa kupetera, hakayijojiniri nganu na kuitula muluhanja lyakuwi, kumbiti hakatoli miwawi na kuipambira pamotu gwagutenda ndiri tiya.”
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
Kwa visoweru vivuwa Yohani kaweriti kankuwabwelera wantu visoweru viheri, kankuwagambira wantu waleki vidoda vyawatenda.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
Yohani kamkalipiriti Herodi yakaweriti mkola mlima gwa mukowa, toziya kaweriti kamupoka Herodiya yakaweriti mdala gwa mlongu gwakuwi na katenditi vintu vivuwa vidoda nentu.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Su Herodi katenditi shidoda nentu kwa kamtatira Yohani mushibetubetu.
21 And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven was opened,
Wantu woseri pawawabatiziti kala, Yesu wambatiziti vilavi. Pakaweriti kankuluwa, kumpindi kuvuguka,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
na Rohu Mnanagala kamsulukira kaweriti gambira mpongu mfanu gwa ngunda, liziwu lipikanika kulawa kumpindi palilonga, “Gwenga gwa mwana gwangu yanukufira. Gunhelepera”
